RE: [Dev-C++] NT 5.0 Passwords

[Ioannis V. <no...@ho...>]

It doesn't sound feasible. Presumambly he refers to a network connection
from UNIX. Now if UNIX is installed on the same system as NT and can
mount the file system so as to be able to write on it and knowing the NT
internals (e.g. the algorithm used to encrypt/decrypt) he theoretically
can do that. However the files encrypted with the EFS of NTFS using the
previous key would not be cracked.

 So for summary, to change the admin password you must know where to
write, what encryption algorithm is used and the access to write.
